Georgette R. Coleman M’12

Georgette R. Coleman, Websterville, VT, died June 14, 2024, of liver failure after twice earlier overcoming cancer.

Born in Barre, she completed her primary education at Holy Ghost Grade School in Graniteville. After graduating from Marian High School in 1968, she went on to earn a degree in nursing from Jeanne Mance School of Nursing in 1971.

In 2012, she earned a master’s degree in theology/pastoral ministry at Saint Michael’s. Georgette sought her master’s degree so that she could apply her knowledge and education to hospice care. Her Roman Catholic faith was at the heart of her nearly 50-year nursing career.

Since 2009, Georgette had been an active member of the Barre-Tones – a women’s a cappella chorus that performs and competes regionally and internationally. She loved music and singing. In her retirement, Georgette was the coordinator for the Eucharistic Ministry at St. Monica’s Catholic Church.

Georgette spent her free time conversing with family and friends, reading, baking/cooking, knitting/crocheting, and enjoying her favorite movies and television series. Her greatest joy was spending time with her loved ones.

Georgette is survived by a son, a daughter, three brothers and extended family.
